CoPs are an essential part of human societies, we inadvertently form Communities of Practices based on shared interests and skills.
Agile Organizations carefully develop CoP around their employees so as to maximize knowledge sharing, ease of operations, and work on innovations in an organized way.
CoPs utilize a variety of methods to develop their practice.
